One week down

[cornerofmadness]

How the hell did that happen? Overall, it was a good one. I have promising students but I will never understand the students who sit in the back of the room, do poorly and spend their time deriding the students who answer the professor/teacher. I didn't get it when I was the student. I don't get it now. I have two men (one my age, one young) who are just on the ball, sitting up front and answering everything AND proposing ideas and I have two men (also one older and one younger) against the back wall doing nothing but rolling their eyes and mocking. Guess who I want working on ME when I'm in to have things done?

Speaking of having things done, I got my eye looked at. He was worried about corneal damage but the eye is fine. Why it's so blurry is that it's getting more myopic and he did what I said I didn't really want to do. He left my left eye at the same diopter as my right so it could function as close reading and my right for distance but for the first time in a couple years my vision got worse. Also with my left eye out of commission I was having trouble seeing close in the right because well I'm getting older and will need readers sooner rather than later (very mild ones). Also contributing to it was the fact my glasses had gotten bent to hell and back over break. They're fixed and it's MUCH better. Helps if you look through the part of the lens you're supposed to.

I need to look up what to do with a cat with severe dandruff. Poor Kanda looks awful. My vet said corn oil on the food. I want to see if there's anything else.

I just finished my world building blog post, convinced it was today that it started. I'm 10 days early. Oops. well post one is done!

Here, I found another of those heart warming stories

Day 5 of declutter, the last two beer bottles are label-peeled and recycled (now to tackle the wine). Well at least until I drink more. I do pick my experimental beers by cute label. I've also learned that in America we use good paper and cheap glue (easy to peel) and all the ones from the UK are flimsy paper (that falls apart in the water) and glue that will never come the hell off. So in 5 days I've removed 9 items. yay.

I just read that link you posted. Sweet.

Um. I wanna say fish oil for Kanda. But I can't remember, and I don't know where my "homeopathic remedies for pets" book is.

So...are your eyes better sighted now or not? I'm confused.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'll google it for Kanda

better with my glasses fixed but overall not so much. but at least now I know it's not disease

*nod nod*

Yeah, that's got to be a relief.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes and it's not like I didn't know I was old enough to need readers in the next year or so

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I understand that one.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I need to have my glasses fixed. They haven't fit right since I accidentally hit myself in the face with that load of shelves when I moved.

I was surprised how much that affected my vision (luckily mine fixes that kind of stuff for free)

Weird... I swear to the gods I have read this post before. I even checked the date to make sure I was logged in correctly. Sometimes if I'm not logged in, I will see old posts. I'm on a new device. I don't know why eye doctors don't listen to us. My precious visit, I told the doc that I was constantly reading under my glasses and could he either add a 1.0 bifocal to my scrip or a non correction bifocal if that was possible.. I got no bifocal and continued to give myself headaches by reading under my glasses. Last time hi got my bifocal, but instead of the perfect (already tested) 1.0 bifocal he writes it for 2.0 and Jo have spent another year reading under my glasses because I can't read through them. I feel your pain.

PS.. I have never understood the students who mock other students for wanting to learn. Especially not adults. It makes no sense.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah that's all kind of crazy. At least he didn't try to sell me bifocals (I'm not there yet) He's like go to Wal-mart and pick up cheap readers for now. I can see text. I can't see the awesome tiny print in manga foot notes or food package labels though (however, I know the government is planning to stop them from using that microprint on labels)

You might have seen posts about me whining about my vision in the last week or so

oh yeah, that mocking makes no sense and worse, I SEE it and chances are the mockers will be the ones wanting a favor from me later. good luck
